Ok guy's"n" gal's, about to take delivery of a set of groooooovy front disc's for that extra bite, question is, What pads?? Some i have seen are in the region of £80, :shock: now i know you's lot must have some good suggestions on a GOOD cheaper alternative!! :bow: I'm at your mercy.

Have done lots of searching through old threads before i decided to ask for some help on this. The new speakers i have put in are slightly too big to fit in the existing metal bracket (managed to get 2 screws in) and the speaker does not sit properly. I have read that i should completely remove the metal speaker bracket from the door and make one out of mdf. Do i make the mdf one the same shape as the metal one so it uses the same mounting holes? Sorry if its a stupid question, but the threads i searched through dont explain it very well. Does anyone have any pics of mdf brackets they have made?

Can't get to the products on his site anyone know how much this is????

A very strange request this I know, but I'm desparate.......... I'm meant to be coming to Dublin on Tuesday to deliver some 300ZX parts for someone. Unfortunately the chap I'm meant to be giving the parts to has just had a sudden family bereavement and he can't meet me this week, due to funeral arrangements etc . But because its short notice I can't transfer or cancel the ferry and hotel booking. Is there anyone in the Dublin area who could hold onto the parts just for a few days until he's back from the funeral.?????? The parts are a bonet, bumper and a wing, so they do take up quite a bit of room (which is why my courier refused to take them)…

Please remind me if this is a known problem on the ZX...... ......every so often I have a pool of brake fluid in my garage under the car, right below the master cylinder. I top up the fluid and it is fine for weeks, no leak at all, then suddenly the pool re-appears and the level is down a couple of cms :confused: I asked my mechanic to look at it 2 weeks ago and he found nothing wrong. Typical. He topped it and told me to call him if it leaks again. It didn't....... ........until this morning :headvswal Richard :x:

Hi all i'm still having some stumbling problems and was wondering if anyone in the Braintree area might have any spare parts such as coil packs or ptu's that i could borrow one afternoon to try and trace my problem. I'm getting a 55 on the ECU and the O2 sensors check out ok, but stumble happens at all speeds and temps, sometimes cat overheat light flashes on as well suggesting unburnt fuel. Done all the connectors and fitted new sparkplugs :( .
